PETA Offers $5K Reward After Dog Is Set On Fire In Baltimore
BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in the gruesome burning of a dog in Baltimore in July.
According to authorities, on July 27, 2016 officers met firefighters at a home in the 6800 block of Hamlet Ave. where they found a trash bag engulfed in flames with a dog inside.
The dog was pronounced dead at the scene.
"This community needs to know whether this dog was dead or alive when he was put in a garbage bag and set on fire, because a dog abuser may be at large and strike again," says PETA Vice President Colleen O'Brien. "PETA urges anyone who has information about who had this dog in their possession and how he died to come forward now."
Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 410-396-2400.
